He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right?” “Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” “That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.” “Thanks.” Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. Every year about 80 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation! 51. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers. B. Because that made him easier to be recognized. C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. D. Because he did not have any luggage with him. 52. An air courier is a person who . A. manages a business company in foreign countries B. organizes international flights for tourists C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries 53. Businesses choose the air courier service because . A. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast B Too many people want others to be friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friends the way you want your friends to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and it helps with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turing to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity and understanding. 54. Some friendships don’t last very long because . A. there are too many people who want to make friends B. those who never give others friendship receive no friendship from others C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others D. they don’t know friendship is something serious 55. According to the passage, honesty is . A. something countable B. the base of friendship C. as important as money D. more important than anything else 56. Generosity means . A. sharing everything B. sharing information and feelings C. allowing others to do anything D. knowing your friend better 57. The best title for the passage is . A. Honesty Is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed C. How to Be A Friend D. Three Important Points in Life C In old times there lived a king, who was so cruel and unjust towards his subjects that he was always called the tyrant（暴君）. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that they might have a new king. One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them, “My dear subjects, the days of my tyranny are over. Henceforth（今后） you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule henceforth justly and well.” The king kept his words so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King. By and by one of his favorites came to him and said, “Your Majesty, I beg of you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards your people?” And the king replied, “As I was riding fast on my horse through my forests one afternoon, I caught sight of a hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped to his hole, but he had been bitten by the dog so badly that he would be lame for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw a stone at him, which broke its leg. The man had not gone far when a horse kicked him and broke his leg. The horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and broke his leg. Hence I came to my sense, and decided to change my rule. ‘For surely,’ I said to myself, ‘he who does evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.’” 58. The king declared to his subjects that . A. he would do what he liked B. he would strengthen his tyranny C. he would live in peace and happiness D. he would rule better 59. We can see that the king . A. went back on his words B. did what he had promised C. still ruled unjustly D. still wasn’t considered a just king 60. One afternoon the king saw in the forests . A. a dog chasing a fox B. a man throwing a stone at a dog C. a horse kicking a man D. a horse fallen into a hole 61. The king’s conclusion is that . A. evil people will remain evil B. he who does bad things will never do anything good C. if a person does bad things, something bad will sooner or later be done to him D. sooner or later an evil thing will surely happen D Nowadays, instead of turning paper pages, many people reach for hand-held devices（设备）. These electronic readers（电子阅读器）not only store books to show on a screen, they can also read them out loudly. This month, Amazon lowered the price of its Kindle reader by 60 dollars to just below 300 dollars. The device can download books wirelessly from a store on Amazon’s Website. Most new released books and bestsellers cost 9.99 dollars. Newspapers and magazines are available（可利用的）with monthly charge. Though reading e-books is limited by the availability of devices and electricity, buyers of e-books get a good deal: Traditional hardcover books often cost around 25 dollars while many e-books are already selling for 99 cents. Books printed on paper are easily shared and resold by anyone. But e-books can act more like computer software which only works for the user who buys it. Thus e-readers can keep the books really as their personal wealth. Paper books can get worn easily and can even miss some pages, but e-books always keep what they are just bought. But some Kindle users got a shock. They were surprised to find that the copies of two books disappeared from their devices. They were 99-cent versions of George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm. As some users were guessing the reason, Amazon explained that he did not have the rights to the books, so he deleted（删除）them. Later he returned the money to the users. Barnes& Noble, the world’s largest bookseller, started what it calls the world’s largest e-bookstore. People can read the books on the Apple iPhone, personal computers and other hand-held devices. They can also download over half a million books available free from Google. The Internet search company is putting books online that are no longer protected by copyright（版权） 62. This passage mainly tells us . A. hand-held devices are suitable for children B. e-books will have a bigger market C. e-books offer readers a new way to read D. the development of books in history 63. What is a Kindle reader? A. It is a website for readers to read books online. B. It is a computer that can store many e-books. C. It is a new book that is newly put online. D. It is a device to download books from a website. 64. What is the advantage of e-books compared with books printed on paper? A. E-books are not easy to miss pages. B. E-books can be read at any time. C. E-books can be shared by more readers. D. E-books can be sold again after being read. 65. From the passage we can know . A. readers can get back money if they are not satisfied with books they bought B. the books protected by copyright cannot be downloaded from Google now C. Barnes & Noble is the largest bookseller who only sells e-books. D. all e-books on Google should be paid before being read. 第Ⅱ卷（20分） 第四部分 写作（共2节，满分20分） 第1节 短文填空（阅读下面短文，根据首写字母填空。共10小题，每小题0.5分，满分5分） There are many great artists in the world.
